It was Justine Henin first match on grass since her loss to Marion Bartoli in 2007 at Wimbledon. Things went very well for the Belgian who defeated Angelique Kerber in straight sets at the Unicef Open earlier.
Henin's backhand was its usual as the Belgian hit multiple winners unlike what it was doing during her loss to Samantha Stosur at the French Open.
The Belgian looked good altogether with her serve and ground strokes. But as mentioned, her backhand was working and she did plenty of net play.
